The next Gurteen Bristol Knowledge Cafe is going to be held in the uber-resilient Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol, on Thursday September 17th, from 18:30. The cafe proper will begin at 19:00 prompt as usual.
Our introductory speaker is Philipa Bayley, acting head of the Centre for Public Engagement, Bristol University (and full on neuro-science doctor geek but don’t tell her I told you that).
Our subject is ‘resilience’; we will be hearing a lot of this word soon, that’s a guarantee.
Here’s the blurb:
None of us knows what the future holds (not even Mystic Meg) but chances are there are some not-too-nice things up ahead.
Whether we’re thinking about the challenges that individuals, communities or nations face, resilience is about how we deal with those challenges and not only bounce back, but ‘bounce up’.
Come and discuss what makes people and organisations resilient, and how we might build that capacity in from the start.
As usual, please come along and enjoy while meeting and deepening your understanding of this topic, and book yourself in using the event booking page below.
If you want to stay up to date via the email distribution list, the link follows, and if you’re a facebook kind of person, Michael Corbett is the man behind the Bristol K-cafe group and is usually around for a good conversation…
